How Long Can You Delay Taking the Subject 1 Test?

You need to wait 10 days before rescheduling the exam. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," you can take the Subject 1 make-up test twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a second free make-up test. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 out of 100, with the test consisting of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 Test Content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; road traffic conditions and rules; traffic safety violations and penalties; regulations on traffic accident handling; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: During the test, candidates must dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen before entering the examination room, and store personal belongings in a locker. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned station, find your seat, and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake the test the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it—failure to sign renders the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one make-up attempt if you fail. If you skip the make-up or fail it, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts each, with a 10-day waiting period for rescheduling. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 consists of two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4, though this term is not officially recognized in the regulations (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123).
